Feedback on System Analysis: TrendFaker

Recommended Posts

Although I've been trading for more than 10 years, I've just recently started some serious automation efforts. My first attempt is a system that's only been tested on five months of 1m data, but is so frequent that it's still pretty interesting.

 

My objectives is high-frequency, smooth equity curve. Not too big drawdown (less than 10%).

 

Attached is the Equity Curve as well as most of the analysis from MultiCharts (some has been removed, as I don't want discussion on market selection). Any feedback is welcome.

 

A few additional comments: As you can see, the strategy had a major drawdown in October. I have a catastrophical stoploss built in, and it got triggered multiple times. Stopping the system for the remainder of the day would improve the results, but I don't know how to code that yet :)

 

Also, the position sizing has not been properly done. Right now it just reinvests profits - and trades with a leverage of 1.2 to 1. Is there a "simple" way of working with position sizing in MC?

Yes, real commissions (IB) and realistic slippage. It's listed in the Excel-sheet, Strategy Analysis tab, row 25 and 26.

 

The historical data I've been using is from eSignal, and I've now in the meantime compared this with 1m-data from IB which makes me question the realism of the backtest. The data are not quite the same - the price movements at IB are tighter and more jumpy, whereas it seems more rangebound with eSignal. This affects the system performance, although I'm still investigating this. See attached chart for the same time period, IB on the left side.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
